Well you have to ask yourself the real question.....that is, If you are eating "paleo" are you exercising paleo? Unless you are riding at a lower pace (similar to the output of a walker) you will need to consume a higher amount of carbohydrate. Fruit and veggies are the natural thing for that. If you are riding 4-12 hours, eat fats, protein, veggies, nuts, fruit.... just like when you are not riding. This assumes you are trying to burn fat as you ride. Unless you continually 'top off' with carbs you'll soon be out of glucose anyway and will have to burn fat for energy. I think they call it 'the bonk'. I've just come to the conclusion that I don't like riding that long or that hard. If I can't finish my riding in a 5-6 hour day, I'm going to do the sensible thing and take a rest, eat some food and go to sleep until the next day. The best post ride food in my mind would be the same thing I eat normally just a little more of it. For protein, eggs or fish seem to digest better for me than a steak but the fat in the steak satiates better after exercising. I also like the way I feel eating primarily vegetables and meat. During a ride you ask........I eat fruit or nuts or berries maybe even a little turkey jerky or a teriyaki stick. Most of my riding these days however is two hours at a time or less so I rarely eat when I ride and just drink some water. I've also taken to riding my new SimpleOne and I've changed the way I ride and do more gut busting climbing coupled with easy spinning and coasting and some high velocity spinning for the fast twitch fibers. Kind of a interval type of thing like when I commute to work from light to light. On the few longer rides I've done I slow my pace quite a bit and plod along.
